Recents Files

Additional Context

For the Files screen, I have not made any changes on purpose. For the Recents screen, we now display the Book title and author. If it is a file with no epub metadata like txt or md, we display the file name without the file extension.

Nothing. It seems to already work with xtc files

Just a note I tried with an xtc produced by https://x4converter.rho.sh , and this shows title "Title Page" with no author rather than the correct metadata.

Definitely may be a problem with the xtc converter rather than your PR, but I have no xtc files with known good metadata to test.
